Ok, as the fever spreads, thought I'd give it a whack. Even though I know it should be written on nature. Our own versions we can call "The Christian Haiku."  


blood stained wrists and feet
your joints pulled from their sockets
In the name of LOVE

picture etched in mind
as you hung in pain for us
to free human kind

Becky; These glorious haikus do honor to our Lord! Beautiful!  love, ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

WhtDove, I love the "Christian Haiku" theme you have come up with....but I love your depiction of Jesus' suffering for us more, with the two Haiku's you've written. Both are wonderful and very good. Yes, they are catching, aren't they?     marcy

How do we ever thank Him enough for what He endured for us? This is so beautiful.

Thank you all so very much!

Mom, I sent you an email explaining how to do one. They're fun to do. And I'll bet you can top this.

Rebecca,

a more thoughtful Haiku I do not believe
could come from Adam, nor not Eve

...

but should you incline
before you rest this night's eve
I am your relief

A couple of marvelous depictions of Christ on the cross in the form of haiku.  A time in which nature was fully aware...   Bob <><

Call it whatever you like -- I call it a wonderful use of a poetic form-giving glory to our God & Saviour,  David

You described His pain so very well,so often we do not stop to actually think of the true anguish He suffered for us,the pain and humiliation,the suffering,and you said it all in so few words !!! I love it.
